> but maybe next time we try to prevent Saudis from killing their neighbours first, to avoid creating yet another resistance group that use terrorism and asymmetrical warfare?

It was not us that said to Iran to fund Houthis. Some things are due to choices that are made by others, and not the US. I do not get this whole idea of denying agency.

I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that if Saudis don't want to feel uneasy, they shouldn't meddle and bomb their neighbours.

Also they shouldn't execute a hundred unarmed Africans after bringing them to work on neom (I wonder if they were surprised to be shot at, did they run? Did the police execute the one who survived the first hits?), and let their vanity project kill more than 53k 'workers' (slaves?) in 15 years, but I mean, most of them are African or Indian, so who cares?

Don't get me wrong, Iran is an abhorrent country, who jail and execute people to make examples. Saudi Arabia is just way, way worse. And at least average Iranians seems empathetic and ok human beings. Average Saudis aren't.
